The learning from the fight North of Melbourne is you had better bring air cover. The SBD's are pretty good tank busters. We stage a fighter ambush over Wagga Wagga but the LYB's don't show up. Morning Air attack on 8th Tank Regiment, at 85,167 (Wagga Wagga) Weather in hex: Light cloud Raid spotted at 19 NM, estimated altitude 11,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 7 minutes Allied aircraft Buffalo I x 7 Hurricane IIb Trop x 13 SBD-2 Dauntless x 4 SBD-3 Dauntless x 27 Allied aircraft losses SBD-3 Dauntless: 1 damaged Japanese ground losses: Vehicles lost 6 (3 destroyed, 3 disabled) __________________ So are the B-25's at 4000 ft. 8th Tank Regt is obliterated. Morning Air attack on 8th Tank Regiment, at 85,167 (Wagga Wagga) Weather in hex: Light cloud Raid spotted at 12 NM, estimated altitude 6,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 3 minutes Allied aircraft B-25C Mitchell x 6 Hudson III (LR) x 11 No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: Vehicles lost 13 (4 destroyed, 9 disabled) ________________ Morning Air attack on 8th Tank Regiment, at 85,167 (Wagga Wagga) Weather in hex: Light cloud Raid spotted at 20 NM, estimated altitude 4,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 5 minutes Allied aircraft B-25C Mitchell x 8 Allied aircraft losses B-25C Mitchell: 1 damaged Japanese ground losses: Vehicles lost 7 (7 destroyed, 0 disabled) ________________ Morning Air attack on 8th Tank Regiment, at 85,167 (Wagga Wagga) Weather in hex: Light cloud Raid spotted at 2 NM, estimated altitude 7,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 0 minutes Allied aircraft Buffalo I x 7 B-25C Mitchell x 9 No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: Vehicles lost 11 (6 destroyed, 5 disabled) No ground attack at Wagga Wagga today. Looks like it will hold and deny the LYB's another level 2 field.

KB attacks Melbourne. We have no CAP. Our guys are flying over Wagga Wagga and Geelong. That is not going to shut down a level 8 field.

Good Morning old chap, Hope things are okay over there at Camp Rogers and Hammerstein. I was having a little think (jolly dangerous after a few snifters I admit) and came up with a rather jolly wheeze. Why don't we, that is you, rather than worry about Oz start to garrison the Solomons. I do believe this would make JJ's nether regions pucker as we would be across their lines of communication. Pip pip and don't let your wossnames dangle in the dust

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (3/19/2016 4:10:16 PM)
I say! That is an astonishingly good idea you have there..for an aristocrat I mean. Perhaps the whole "when cousins marry" thing is overdone. 2 divisions trapped on New & Improved Caledonia, at least 4 divisions attacking toward Melbourne...it does seem they must be running low on Little Yellow Bastards. Green Island is still green. [:)] We could sneak some engineers ashore. That would get their attention when it went level 1. I will start the three USMC regiments planning for the Solomons and turn around 2nd USMC Para Bn. I wonder what they have at Rabaul? Perhaps the USN BB's could come in from the East and bombard?

desicat -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (3/19/2016 4:19:50 PM)
Solomons? That seems a wise choice.

The dive bombers and the mediums and search aircraft were moved out of Melbourne today in anticipation of further attacks but we are going to need about 20 linear miles of duct tape for the B-17's.
